Every day we strive to make our service better. Seeing great things you build with 000webhost is the best motivation for us. However, recent years were really challenging. Here are the most recent big changes introduced by Hostinger to 000webhost platform:

Complete control panel redesign. We want you focused on learning and building BIG things. Not navigating through complex administration panels.

Updated infrastructure. The speed and response times of 000webhost are super fast. In fact, 000webhost never been as big and as fast as it is now. Balys Krikščiūnas, our Head of Engineering presented this revolutionary solution to scaling databases for such industry giants as Facebook, Google, LinkedIn and many more. You can read the full story here.

51 new servers were bought and 3 new locations in Netherlands, Brazil and Singapore were opened in last year alone.

Partnership with BitDegree, revolutionary education platform, was established. It grants you exceptional access to the service which will help your online presence even more!

All these great things certainly comes at a price. Big price. And we are talking not only about the responsibilities that comes with being on the top. Supporting, developing and scaling the biggest free web hosting platform in the universe costs a ton! Naturally, with recent explosive growth our costs related to 000webhost maintenance “exploded” as well. We had to find a way of how we can keep 000webhost alive.

We are proud to announce, that we beat this challenge. 000webhost is not going anywhere anytime soon. Since the early start of 000webhost we were investing a fair share of our profits from Hostinger back to 000webhost. We will keep it that way. We believe, that everybody in the world should have a free access to learning and building great things online and we really mean it. More exciting updates for 000webhost are yet to come!

In order to make this happen we had to implement one simple limitation: every website hosted on a free 000webhost platform now gets 1 hour of sleep every day. Your website won’t be reachable to the public, but you will be able to set the sleep time yourself.

If you want to avoid sleep time, you can upgrade to Hostinger cheap & premium plans at any time. The migration is processed automatically within few hours and if you get any issues - our top support team is here to help 24/7. If you are not ready to scale your project, you can continue learning and working on it as you did before with this one simple limit, which is planned to take effect on all users in the first two weeks of November.
Thank you for being with us! We appreciate your trust and promise to remain the best web development learning platform in the world.
